At a recent press conference, Brentford boss Thomas Frank sent some mixed messages over a potential transfer for Ivan Toney.
When asked about the striker's future, Frank replied: "Am I desperate to keep him?
"Desperate is a big word. I’d really, really like to keep him. I’m a head coach. I’d love to have my best players with me all the time.
"I don’t want to sell him. That’s me, because he is fantastic. Last year three players scored more than 20 goals in the Premier League and he was one of them."
A reporter then cheekily asked Frank if Toney could move to the Emirates, to which he curtly said: "I don’t know about that. You’ll have to ask Arsenal.
"As far as I know Ivan is a Brentford player. No bids. I want to keep him and he’s looking forward to playing for us."
